- Call with hiring manager went well. I was aired that I would go to next round. Then, they ghosted me for two weeks. Only after I contacted hiring manager through LinkedIn, i got take home task. - I was too receive cognitive assignment, which never arrived! - with regard to take home task, It was about building a ML model for one of their datasets / problems. With the help of claude code, I developed a full project with PROPER data cleaning, fair engineering, 3 kinds of models (LightGBM, TorchModel and pretrained TabPFN foundation model), 4 metrics on validation data (precision, recall, false positive rate etc), model calibration, and model explanation (SHAP, Captum’s Integrated Gradients) and finally appropriate test cases covering 40 cases. It was a production ready code and all this was done in a few hours. Yet, I was rejected. The reason was the code was too complex! If their expectation is to write code without AI, either they should say that explicitly or they are living in 2000s!! Join this company at your own peril!
